Christmas Day is a time to spend with family.

Some like to go out while some like to lounge at home and not bother getting dressed while watching some Christmas telly.

But one mum has been slammed for criticising people who want to relax in their pyjamas.

One mum has criticised the people who choose to lounge in their pyjamas, branding them "manky", reports the Mirror.

In a post on Mumsnet,  the unknown woman admitted she thinks it's "lazy" and "manky" to wear the same thing you've slept in and she especially disliked the thought of eating whilst wearing them.

Some kids love wearing pj's on Xmas Day

She said: "Am I being unreasonable to think it's a bit manky to spend Xmas Day in your pyjamas?

"Are these the new PJs from Christmas Eve box that you've slept in all night or do you shower and put a fresh pair on?

"It's not exactly a John Lewis tableau is it? Parents and children tucking into their turkey/nut roast in their manky nightwear.

"Have a shower and get dressed you lazy beggars!"

More than 270 people have replied to her post, with some agreeing and others calling her out.

One person pointed out that it's "not really [her] problem" what other people choose to do in their own homes.

Another commented: "Each to their own but I wouldn't. I get dressed up, do make up and hair then I'm ready to hit the kitchen, cooking my turkey in a party dress! Quite strange now I think about it really but I like to look nice on Christmas day."

"My manky children stay in their pyjamas ever Christmas Day if we are not going out," replied someone else.  "They love it, little filthy beasts they are."

A different user replied: "I wasn't going to spend this Christmas in PJs but I'm tempted now. It's comfy, hardly dirty and if you're staying at home - why the f**k not?"

"How are they dirty," asked a fifth. "You've done nothing in them. Also I have been known to wear the same trousers two days in a row and I hate to think what you'd do if I told you how often I wash my bra!"
